HOGS AND CHOLERA.

Thanks for sample copies of The
Southern Cultivator I see that some
one wishes cure for hog cholera. l
think there is none, yet [ can give
you preventive which is better than a
cure. feed my hogs, full-blooded
Berkshires, graded and common stock,
twice a week, the following ingredi-
ents; I never had the cholera among
my hogs, although my neighbors' hogs
had it: I give to twenty-five head,
bran about one peck, salt one quart,
wood ashes one peck, soda quarter of
a pound, and about one tablespoonful
of carbolic all mixed well.
If any one of the The Cultsvator
readers will follow this receipt, and
keep his hogs on good grass and
clover pastures, with plenty of clear
running water (spring), [ don't think
he will ever see the cholera in his
herd. A good many farmers buy fine
hogs from the North, from half to full
grown, raised in pens for exhibition,
and such hogs will tumble at the first
attack. # they would patronize home
breeds and buy acclaimated stock,
there would be considerably smaller
loss. Being myself swine breeder,
wish to see the hog raised in the South
to what it ought to be- "a staple article
Ito full and healthy standard. I
know by observation and my own
trials that Berkshire males crossed on

CROPS AFTER PEAS.

In addition to the good things al
ready mentioned about peas in The
Southern Cultiyator, it may be said that
after taking off the vines-which make
excellent hay, capable of keeping
stock fat with the addition of a very
small quantity of corn-the land is
left in good condition. The roots
have broken and mulched the soil to
great depth, while the growing crop
has shaded the ground, which its at
tendant conditions is the best part of
the results Of pea culture. Three
pecks to one bushel of life preserver
peas is best for hay-making, because
the crab grass will then race with the
vines and make good mixture, which
shortens the time of good curing
Mown in the morning after the dew is
off, raked into windrows the same eve
ming, on the next day, and put into
cocks the second evening, it will be
ready for housing on the third day.
To insure perfect safety posts might
be arranged for inserting bars as the
hay is stored, which will give air-pas-
sages through the hay. Dry fodder
or straw may be interlaid of the bars
(which may benefit all round.) Fine
crops of oats or rye may be grown
after peas without addition of fertiliz-
ers. I know of a patch of rye follow
ing peas that was grazed all winter
and till April. and then made the best
crop Of rye [ ever saw Any crop
following peas has the advantage Of a
considerable application of fertilizer.
My first observation of pea culture
as benefit to land occurred the Sec
ond year of my experience. Not hav-
ing enough peas-about two acres of
corn were without pea crop-that
fall I sowed oats, using about seventy
five pounds of guano per acre. Where
the peas had grown the year before |
gathered twenty to forty bushels of
oats, while the oats after corn alone
were hardly stout enough to be Graded.
In certain field, which was partly
in corn and peas and partly in oats
last year, and which is now in cotton
without fertilizer, the difference in
appearance of the plant is the differ
ence Of moderate application of fer
tilizer in favor Of the peas. About
$50 pounds of ash element is excellent
for peas sown after small grain in

FERTILIZING WITH CLOVER.

AS regards keeping up the fertility
of the farm, bought manures are too
expensive, and it is hardly possible to
make suficiency of homemade ma
nures we then must resort to sowing
clover, rotating crops, and resting part
of the farm. Sowing clover is our
cheapest and surest way of fertilizing,
for when growing on the land, we
can Craze it or NOW it for fcrage, and
it's effects as fertilizer last for several
years. Waldo F. Brown, of Ohio,
one of the most intelligent and sue
cessful farmers of the West, says this
of clover " With thirty-ive years of
careful observation of the effects Of
clover, [ have. each year valued it
higher than I did the previous year; a
crop Of clover cannot be grown on my
soil without benefting it no matter
what use it is put to-whether pas
tured, cut for hay, allowed to mature
a crop Of seed, plowed under, or burned
off, and each farmer who grows clover
can determine for himself what is the
best use he can put it to; the roots of
clover are the most important factor
in the fertilizing value of the soil, be-
cause their dried weight considerably
exceeds that of the dried weight of
the top and also@-because they are
richer in food elements than the tops" T"

NEGRO FARM LABOR.

The labor question comes nearer
cleaning me up" than anything else.
l have, however, become convinced
that the Negro is our main depen-
dence; we have got him, or he has Us,
l don't know which; sometimes | think
one way and sometimes the other. At
any rate, we have to stay together,
and we must feed him or he will feed
himself, and prefer feeding him; it.
takes less to. do him or there is less
waste attached to our feeding him, for
he had as soon eat a Berkshire pig
worth twenty-five dollars as a scrub
worth only two dollars; or your Ply
mouth Rock chickens, as any other
cheaper food. On the shares, we can't
afford to give him a good mule or
horse to kill, or costly lot of tools;
or seed to throw away; for if he was
to make six bales of cotton and three
hundred bushels of corn, he would
think he ought to live easy the rest of
his life. You should feed him, and
you or some one else will be certain to
do it, too. Now when you take the
expense off of these bales Of cotton
(for $50 bushels of corn don't go to
his support; it goes for Sunday clothes
and whiskey), we see very plainly that
it will not feed and clothe his family.
l can suggest no remedy that will
meet the case If the negroes would
work and quit their stealing, I would
be on Wall street, New York, prepar-
ing myself for Canada in less than ten
years. At the present prices of cot
ton, to work them on shares, or rent
them land and furnish them, is sure

LIME DUST FOR CHICKENS.

The lime dust treatment is the best
of all cures for gapes in chickens. 1t
is cheap, simple, and effective. / put
a whole brood Of chickens into peck
measure with bag over the top. A
barrel partly filed with air-slacked
lime, as dry as powder, was turned on
It's side and the lime was stirred with
stick until the whole barrel was
filled with lime floating in the air.
The chickens were put into this, with
the bag over the mouth of the barrel.
They were put into the dust three
times, not more than a minute each
time. They should be kept in the
measure all the time. We let one
brood stay in too long and lost five out
of seven. The windpipes of the dead
chickens were found more than half
filled with gape worms, which made it
more difficult for them to breathe.
My little son, years old, treats his
chickens in this way successfully. The
lime can be Stacked with water and
then allowed to dry so as to powder.

Tor years for this purpose.-Pzanter

LABORIOUS FLOWING.

An Indian traveller relates how .'the
native of India uses a plow made Of a
piece of iron a foot in length, an inch
wide and half an inch thick, which is
sharpened at the lower end and fixed
in a triangular piece of wood attached
to the yoke on the necks of the bull
locks by a rope of MANILA grass. This
plow tears up the ground like har-
row. and by hard work can be made
to 90 over nearly an acre of land in a
day. The operation of plowing is
repeated five or six times before each
sowing, or about ten times year, as
two crops are raised. After the last
blowing the sower follows after the
machine and carefully drops the seed
into the furrow."
We have the perfection of imple-
ments, combining strength and light
ness. Yet the farmers of India, and
especially of China, by the most labo-
rious attention to detail, raise various
crops upon land that has been under
cultivation perhaps for thousands of
years. How many American farmers,
especially on the rich, alluvial soils of
the West and South, understand their
whole duty in practically getting the
best return from their soil without un-
duly depicting it t?"-Farna, Field and

MACHINERY AND LABOR.

, John Swinton, labor advocate of
some reputation at the East, recently
gave an address in Boston on the
revolutionary forces of the times. His
audience, according to a report of
the address in a Boston paper, pre-
tended appreciation but, according
to. the report before us, if true, he
must have dealt largely in incoherent
talk about Rome, Greece and medieval
history. Moreover his language must
have been found very difficult Of ap-
plication to the points which he as
sumed to illuminate. One of the
forces which were mentioned by him
was the growth and massing of ma
chinery. The truth Of his statement
is not to be disputed, but when he
alludes to it disparagingly as working
to the detriment Of the laboring classes
he is running tangent to facts that
have been demonstrated time and
again as favoring the social and ma
terial condition of the working people.
Though said with sort of raillery,
there was much truth in the vulgar
remark: "When the .clodhopper
reads, the clodhopper is lost. When
the lguttersnipe's head becomes a
knowledge-box, the guttersnipe is i'm
possible" The lowness of mans en-
ployment is raised in proportion to
his mental education. No vocation is
service or degraded in itself, !.and it
becomes so only because intelligence
does not enter it's execution Let the
mind be educated to the employment
of the hand and street-sweeping de-
velops into a science. The meanness
of labor is so because Of the abasement
of mans nature elevate that and all
that he undertakes. is elevated. In
stead Of denouncing the condition of
affairs in their relations to mankind,
the best thing that can be done is to
improve them, not to overthrow them.

GOOD USE FOR ONIONS.

Those who are in the habit of in
dulging in raw onions may be consoled
for the mature and able-bodied odor
which wraps them as a veil, and causes
men, women and children to flee from
their malodorus vicinity, by the fact
that onions are the best nervine
known. No medicine is really so eff
cacious in cases of nervous prostra-
ton, and they tone up worn-out sys-
tenn in very short time. Their alb
sorbent powers are also most valuable,
especially in time of epidemic. 1t has
repeatedly been observed that an

SUCCULENT FOOD.

The need of succulent food for win
ter feeding is not SO sorely felt in
Great Britain as on this side of the
water Turnips and root crops are
largely raised as part Of the rotation,
ann largely fed u the fields, since the
frosts are not generally so severe as to
prevent this manner of feeding. Here
this is not possible the roots must be
gathered, topped, pitted, and again
taken out and prepared by costly hand
labor. Hence the avidity with which
ensilage came into use in the United
States.
The use of the root crops, swedes
and mangels has now, it is stated, be-
come universal in winter dairying; in
order to supply these crops one-ffth
of the total cultivated land of England
and Scotland, and one-tenth that of
ireland, other tiil5sn land laid down to
grass and clover, has to be devoted to
their growth Thus, in England,
100000 acres are annually cropped
with turnips, swedes and mangeis in
Scotland, about 500,0 600 acres and in
Ireland, 100000. So that over 3,OOO,-
900 acres are devoted to the growth
of crops and at least 100000 tons
of food are raisee which would be to-
tally unneeded could we but preserve
in hay the Characteristic properties Of

ton be considered as mainly required

WHO IS TO BLAME? (c)

The agriculturist often complains of
the learned and professional world of
the contempt with which they speak
Of the farmer and his calling. But
the truth is undeniable that the farmer
by his own conduct and profession
often does more to degrade his position
than those who are engaged in other
professions and industries. The out
ward dress and badge of the farmer is
no disgrace, except in the eyes Of fops
and fools. The sensible world knows
he cannot dress every day in fine linen,
and if he did they would at once de-
eide that he could not be trusted at
bank, and that mortgages would soon
swallow his farm. There are many
errors in the educational prejudices of
the farmer, even against his own bust
ness, which are the children of ignor-
ance. Col. Scott, in reviewing this
subject, embodies many truths which
it would be we'll for us to ponder:
"The average tiller of the soil lacks
faith in his calling He is prone to
regard the earth and it's seasons as
capricious, and wanting in sympathy
with his laborers ; he evinces this in
his forebodings as to the future and
his discomfort with the present. p, He
imbues his sons with the same feeling,
and they forsake the shop for trade
or for profession. His daughters
take the same idea, and they favor the
suit of the fne-haired youth in fine
clothes, rather than that of the bronzed
and brawny young man who faces sun
and storm without fear or care. The
children follow the father in contempt
for the substance and admiration for
the shadow He further shows his
want Of faith in the business of tillage
by failing to investigate it's principles,
to note carefully its teachings. Sue
cess is too often regarded as the result
of chance, and misfortune is rarely
imputed to aught else than bad
luck.n The lesson of facts is unheeded;
a theory based on credulity occupies
the theme" BEN. PERLEY PooRE 'o

of house acts as a shield against the
pestilence, which is very apt to pass
over the inmates of that house. Sliced
onions in a sick room absorb all the
germs and prevent contagion. During
an epidemic, the confirmed onion eater
should eschew his usual diet, as the
germs of disease are present in the
onions and contagion can easily re-
sult.-Ex. "

Farmers must be governed by the
circumstances around them What
they may do this year at a profit cir
cumstances may make impossible next
year, or make it a loss to do it a
second time. The most successful
farmer is the one that can use his sur
.roundings to the best advantage. You
should catch on to every favorable
circumstance that surrounds you and
make the most of it, for this is what
MANY times makes the difference be-
tween profit or loss at the close OF
the years reckoning.
